Baltimore music/rap scene?

[Words]

I got to thinking the other day about city safety statistics (I promise I'm 17) and I remember Baltimore was the lowest on one site. I got to thinking...if Compton and Detroit have a big rap scene....how come the Central Valley doesnt?...BUT MY SECOND THOUGHT WAS "Is there a good music scene or a good rap scene in Baltimore?"
I figured this was the best place to ask, you guys and gals and dinosaurs know any rap albums or just music in general from that area?

Nope, Baltimore has never had any nationally known or popular rap artist.

I don't know a lot of rap but Spank Rock has some fun stuff https://youtu.be/kdyFsRr2dSI

And currently outside of rap I know they have a lot of great stuff happening there, Horse Lords are awesome for example https://youtu.be/Fiy0lsJLXTs

If I'm not mistaken, both Beach House and Animal Collective are from Baltimore (not hip-hop), but still notable. I seriously can't think of a hip-hop artist from Baltimore at this point though... they'll have them of course, but just no one big I suspect
